What can be done in the future to prevent such a thing from happening again? I've heard to wrap saran wrap around the tank?? Should I shut the protein skimmer off? And how long do I "protect" the tank after painting?
Thanks to all who symathize with me. I can only come up with 2 reasons why this happened. 1: the coral dying 2: we spray painted primer in our basement (about 4.5 cans). My tank is on the main floor, but maybe it went through the vents? That's my husband's answer anyway. He ran all tests this...
I don't know what went wrong. I was out of town last week, came back on Friday... everything looked fine. When I fed the fish yesterday, they were swimming around happily eating. Then this morning my husband calls me to say everything's dead. He wasn't kidding. I sped home & broke into tears...
